Beth Maki, MSNA, CRNA, APRN

Beth graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing (University of South Carolina) in 1988. She worked in a Level 1 Trauma Center in Columbia, South Carolina in the Surgical Trauma Intensive Care Unit for 10 years. She took care of the sickest patients in the region, many of whom were victims of motor vehicle accidents and violence. This experience laid the foundation for standards of excellence in her career, learning what it meant to care for every aspect of our fellow human beings with care and attention to detail.

Beth obtained her Masters of Science Degree in Nursing Anesthesia in 2001 (University of New England) and began her Anesthesia career at the Mayo Clinic. For the next 12 years, she was privileged to work in the Neurosurgery Department, participating in many “first time ever” procedures studying and healing the brain. Her favorite team there was in the MRI suite – once again, a small cohesive group committed to excellence. In 2013 she began working in hospitals all over Southern Minnesota through her Independent Practice. She collaborated with Apple Tree Dental and opened a dental sedation practice in Rochester, Minnesota, providing anesthesia care for adults with disabilities. She continues this work today. In 2017 she began a three-year apprenticeship in Traditional Herbal Medicine, with an emphasis on mental health. At the same time, she began reading the research, taking courses, and attending conferences about ketamine for mental health. In 2019 Bloom Neurotherapy opened its doors.

Beth is board certified in nurse anesthesia, her certification is held by the National Board of Certification and Recertification of Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA). She is a member of the American Society of Ketamine Physicians, Psychotherapists, and Practitioners (ASKP). She has been a member of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists since 2000 and is a supporting member of the Psychedelic Society of Minnesota.
